The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 213,000.

My lights are turning on dash. It grabs real bad and acts like it going to die in traffic. Dangerous. My 4 wheel drive will not work.

I the vehicle safety inspection and was told the left side lower ball joint going bad. The transmission module is tripping the check engine light. The driver side windows (front and back) makes awful sound going up. The ac compressor has stopped working.

The key seized in the ignition happened when the vehicle was parked at home the shifter cable fractured the contact stated that on several occasions after the vehicle was parked with the gear shift lever in the park position, the contact was unable to remove the key. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. Simi valley Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram located at 2350 first st, simi valley, CA 93065, (805) 581-9090 was contacted by phone for an estimate on the cost of the part for the shifter cable.

My 2006 Jeep just stop working, came out of work and would not turn over,ecm box went bad on my Jeep. This is a common problem per my mechanic the on board ( brain ) computer ecu, ecm and ec box must be recalled or else this issue is on the purchasers like us. Fords had the same problem back in 96. Your part for may 2006 Jeep ecm can not be located anywhere in the united states, how is this possible????????.

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. While driving at an unknown speed, the contact experienced suspension failure with the vehicle. The contact received recall notices for NHTSA campaign numbers: 15v222000 (power train) and 18v278000 (suspension). In addition, the traction control warning indicator illuminated. The contact scheduled an appointment with greenway Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, ram (9051 e colonial dr, orlando, FL 32817). The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 109,000.

Car can not be placed in park and have it stay there, key will not come out.

Shifter moves freely between park-reverse-neutral-drive-2nd-1st gears. This happens when the vehicle is turned on and off; and with or without a key in the ignition. If the shifter is bumped while driving down the road, the vehicle can be thrown into reverse and/or park. When I contacted the Jeep dealer in springfield missouri, I was told that Jeep has since redesigned the shifter control and the entire assembly must be replaced. Cost for the entire assemble is approximately $480 plus labor. If the problem is so apparent that it can be found thousands of times using google, and if the manufacturer has since redesigned the entire shifter control system; then one would think that they should have issued a recall.

On two different occasions while driving on the highway at 60 mph to 70 mph, the engine of the vehicle shut down completely, without warning, with the loss of all steering or control over the vehicle. On two other occasions, the engine shut down completely, without warning, with the loss of any steering or control over the vehicle, after exiting the highway and entering city traffic. That is a total of four engine shut downs or stalls while driving the vehicle. The dealer can find nothing wrong with the vehicle. We just bought the vehicle, and this is nerve-wrecking and dangerous to say the least. The engine shuts down after driving long distances, and has happened from driving distances of approximately 90 miles to 160 miles. If you wait approximately one hour, the vehicle will then start up again and run. But it will stall again with complete loss of power. Others on the internet have also experience this problem with Jeep 3. 7 and 4. 7 powertech Jeep motors. Our Jeep is a 3. 7 motor. This appears to be the same problem as Jeep experienced with Jeep commander and Jeep grand cherokee models, which were recalled. This situation can obviously be life threatening. Chrysler Jeep should not be allowed to put life treating vehicles on the market and these Jeeps must be recalled. We ask for your help in this matter before someone is seriously injured.

Manual transmission slams out of 1st gear into neutral when accelerating from a stop. This could cause a serious rear-end collision because the vehicle is suddenly out of gear at a critical point of acceleration. It is unpredictable and the only way to prevent it is to hold the stick shift securely while accelerating. It happens quite frequently.

The pain on the outside roof is peeling, I do live in a state where the roads are salted however, there is no salt used on the top of the vehicle, this, while not a new vehicle should not be peeling the way it is. The front windshield had a severe chip & the installer was barely able to sand this area down enough to be able to seal the windshield. I have done some research & this is a very common problem along with the rear window regulators both of which have had to be replaced. There are problems with the emergency break & the Jeep dealership gives one reason for the abs, esp among other wheel and breaking issues. And now the one thing that Jeep is finally supposed to be doing something about rather than me having to put more money into this vehicle for, the gas tank recall seems to be a ridiculous fix, and I have been on a waiting list for this for months and still have not been able to get it in to get this fixed. I saw a news story that said that Chrysler was being mandated to fix these very poorly made vehicles. I would like to know how this particular vehicle does not fall into the other recalls when it has been having the same issues. I have been having breaking system issues as long back as 13 months after I purchased this vehicle.

The vehicle keys can be removed from the ignition while the shift is in drive, and it was removed on this date and the car rolled into another vehicle.

Key will not release from ignition on steering column due to restricted (degraded range of motion from a subassembly with weakened spring) movement of automatic transmission shifter interlock cable. Vehicle can not be put in park (shifter freely moves through p r n d 3 2) and key will not make the last little turn before release. Seems to be an extremely common occurrence among owners, based on cursory online research. Requires replacement of entire center console shifter assembly with an "upgraded/improved" mopar part to fix the known high failure subassembly (but not available for purchase separately). Inability to place vehicle securely in park would seem to be biggest safety issue, not to mention vehicle security compromised with key perpetually in ignition.

Vehicle stalled, engine shut off when backing out of driveway. The stall point of the transmission is exceed, making transition from reverse to drive or drive to reverse too much, causing a stall. Also, idle in drive when stopped there are surges that cause a near stall. This is a safety issue, as it can happen when making 2-point or 3-point turns on a road with traffic.

On three separate occasions vehicle stalls upon engaging drive or reverse from park or neutral. The shift is made, the vehicle begins to move, then suddenly it stalls, the engine shuts off. Park or neutral must be quickly reselected to restart vehicle. Danger of being in an intersection when this happens it high. Dealer says it is a known issue, with no solution.

Both rear passage windows fail to work at all we had to tape up the windows and the power make a grilling noise.

Ac compressor had to be replaced I did not know there was a recall on it. . Also the computer went on it and that was repaired on 10/11/13. . . I was told the spark plugs were wrong. I have never had a tune up or my spark plugs changed! unless the wrong ones were in there when I bought this brand new in September of 2006. Or possibly the Chrysler dealership did it to get a repair. Safford in springfield va. I will not stop perusing this until I have answers.

Hard to get 4-wheel drive in gear. I had service tech. Talk me thru since it wasn't working properly. 4-wheel drive lever/gear broke completely on Feb. 3, 2014.

2006 Jeep Liberty will not shift out of park intermittently. After several attempts of applying service brake it comes out so far. Dealership wants $600 bucks to replace shift lever tower and shift cable. Others on line talk about same problem. Dealerships plead ignorance on the problem, but will gladly take $600 to replace the shift lever tower and !.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty 4x4. The vehicle was parked when it suddenly began to roll down the street, jump the curb and crashed into a tree. There were no injuries and no police report.

I have had my 2006 Jeep Liberty at the dealership 6 times in the 3 years I've owned it. I bought this car brand new and have had nothing but problems since. First the car would not come out of park, at the dealership they couldn't duplicate the problem and sent me on my way. After may months of this happening daily I had it towed on a flat bed to the dealership and they finally replaced a cable that connected the gear shift to brake after telling me I could just slam really hard on the brake and it would just disengage, I should just have done that instead of having it towed. (stupid me I guess) then I had the same abs traction check engine light problems I've heard and read many complaints about, first time taking it in, the problems stopped and they sent me home. Second time, I drove it straight there and made them look at it and drive it, they had my car for four days and call me to tell me there was nothing they could do because the codes were stored and not active reset the computer and sent me on my way. Now yesterday a year later and at 48,000 miles the car started again. I made them hook it up while the car was still running and the lights still on. What they don't tell you is that shutting your car off "stores" the codes. With the car still on, the codes were active and they found the problem. The body control module. However now it is out of factory warranty and I had to fight with the gm to get it covered. They still wouldn't cover it under factory but did cover it under extended warranty and waived my deductible. However I am still very upset that this has not been recalled, this should not be at my expense at all!!! I will never buy another Jeep ever!.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. While the vehicle was parked in the driveway in first gear, it rolled backwards. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but they could not determine the cause of the failure. Recently, the vehicle was parked in first gear and with the emergency brake engaged. The vehicle rolled away again and crashed into a tree. The vehicle was still able to be driven and sustained moderate damages. The police was called to the scene and a report was filed. The vehicle will be taken to a collision center for repairs. The VIN and failure mileage were unknown. The current mileage was 24,010.

Vehicle bucking when attempting to maintain speed manually (w/out cruise control).

This is a new Liberty crd (diesel) with 610 miles that was accelerating from a border patrol checkpoint on I-8 east of san diego. While accelerating to ~65 the vehicle suddenly lost power in heavy freeway traffic and slowed to 35 mph even though the engine was running good. This sudden loss of power caused overtaking vehicles to swerve violently to avoid an accident including at least 2 panic stops. When the vehicle was safely on the shoulder (engine was idling fine) the car was shutdown and restarted which apparently recycled the computer and cleared the condition. Vehicle has performed fine since that incident.

I am currently leasing a 2006 Jeep Liberty. I am able to turn off the vehicle and remove the key while still in 'drive'. I did this once and the vehicle began to roll away when I stepped out of the car. I was able to get back in the car and stop it. No accident/no injuries.
